Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Research papers

Hi,

I´m mathematics student in europe and PR research papers really helps a lot, to get a quick overview of the main ideas.
But how can I better activate them, because math research papers are very short, and after PR them I have to rapid read them very carefully, because one has to think about every word.
I think after I PR a paper, also the technical details are in my uncosious, how can I bring these details to my concious?

I understand what you are saying. Reading scientific material, like this, is not normal reading. It is highly critical reading. You're more than just reading a novel. You are constantly challenging the validity of the statements, and not just decoding the writing for meaning.

I could be that good challenging questions, could provide rapid identification of key issues in a papers.

Why is this work limited?
Why is it flawed?
Where is the new idea?
What is the key step?

Since activation is making the material you photoread conscious... what are you doing to activate the material?

Once we have an idea what you are doing then perhaps we can suggest a better way.

Hello,

Since I cannot send you an e-mail I decided to write to this forum and ask you:

- Are you from Norway and are you studying Mathematics in Oslo? Because I am Norwegian and studying Economics at the University here.

I find the question you asked very relevant to my own subject.

Maybe we could e-mail?

laughinghart - wat connection there is with econ n maths? i very interest to know how pr help you?

There is a joke about economists;
When an economist is asked how he/she would open a can of beans when stuck on an isolate Island with nothing but the can, he/she would answer; "first, I PRESUME I have a canopener"!

In economics, there are a lot of presumptions, creating a model-world, before one actually starts to solve the problem at hand. - BUT - after these have been said, it is pure math and/or statistics for a while ( though keeping the presumptions in mind at all times ).

And then you tell it in words what you have figured out in math/statistics; what the model has solved.

Noticing details, as in math, is important.

Getting an overview might be easy, with PR, but learning the models asks for noticing the many details.

Or, as Iam2 pointed out so well (thanks!!It was helpful for me too!)

Asking questions like:
Iam2:
Why is this work limited?
Why is it flawed?
Where is the new idea?
What is the key step?

So far I end up regular read when I get to these parts in economics, but I know PR can help me get over that; I guess it is all about getting your mind to focus on the right parts; which means asking the right questions; to get you to notice the right details that crack the problem open, - and is then ready to be solved

Why do you ask? Are you studying math/economics too?

First PR

I think by getting better and better at superreading/dipping ( asking the right questions), it will get easier and easier to notice the presumptions and how they *affect* the whole model.And how these presumptions show up as symbols ( math/statistics).

And that way learn to use the model correctly.

I am new to this, but this is how I am working with it and things are getting better.

- sorry I used so many words on the previous post. I am a bit more tired than I thought... better go to bed. It is Night! -

p.s. Remember; math is just a language ... when reading math, it is like learning another language. And this language is sneaked into economics.
